I think I pulled down 60-80 wet grams today. It's quite a thing, I have to take a spore print pretty much every day now. My prints are sort of gifts right now - I've got some LC going, but from a tissue sample, not spores.

I now have like 15 syringes worth of spores.

I was just bemoaning the lack of mushrooms from one chamber, when I realized it's already fruited three times, it's probably done. Cakes are looking pretty sad. Into the compost heap they go, I guess.

Who would ever have guessed that having a bunch of growing chambers in close proximity could end poorly if contamination develops?

Om the plus side, the liquid culture is coming along. And incredible hard to take a picture of.

I hope everything works out with whatever your current project is!

I'll grab some pics later tonight, but there's a bit of a lull at the moment. Some things needs to get re-dunked, some things are just plain done (my god those cakes shrink right up), some things are doing great but need more time (all the LCs seem to be doing well and not showing contaminants.)

Apparently now is the season when all bird seed becomes sunflower seed and nothing else, and I'm not paying fucking $21 for 6 pounds of bird seed, luckily the dollar store had some on for $1/kg. I'll be making half a dozen quart jars of that tonight, one of my grain jars is ready for G2G transfers (I don't have enough to actually spawn to any kind of bulk substrate, I only have two quart jars.)

On the plus side it's getting warm enough that I can start heating my spare room again, and then I can just put the FCs in there like a normal person and stop using a closet (it's not a secrecy thing, I have the entire house to myself, it's just been the only place I could keep at a decent temperature and humidity so the SGFCs could do their job.)

Speaking of, methods for cleaning perlite between batches of cakes? I was just going to mix in some bleach next time I re-soaked the perlite (and rinse it after obviously), it's a bit too much to bake easily, at least with the size of oven trays I have. Advice?

Anyways, I'll grab some pictures later! Grain jars! LCs!

Im interested in the G2G! Im going to try to shoot up some rye berries tomorrow so that i can get a bunch of g2g going in an endless cycle, which will hopefully mean that i need no more spore syringes! :laugh::grin: What kind of bulk will you be transferring to after g2g is complete and colonized?

I was thinking of spawning to... whatever I can find... and doing a 50/50 style casing. The garden product selection in the shopping district here is downright tragic, the garden store (where I buy my non-sketchy 35L sacks of vermiculite) is kinda out of the way, and the feed store is SUPER out of the way, although they do have rye berries (well, they don't call it that, but that's what it is) in giant sacks so I might go hit them up this weekend. I can get peat moss though, so 50/50 might be the way to go for me.

I mostly just used WBS because I'm limited in how much I can lug around between a million different stores and I could buy it at the same place I was buying my canning jars.

Well shit, Idiot Tub.

The casing looked shrunken and dry, it was just producing a few tiny halfassed mushrooms, I figured RIP, 100-ish wet grams isn't bad for three broken up PF cakes stuffed in a 3 quart tupperware. I poured some water on it out of the spray bottle for funsies, then put it back in the closet because it was dark outside and I didn't want to have to go out with a flashlight to find some place to put it in the garden.

Cut to me forgetting it exists for a week, it basically just sits there on a brief delay on its way to the trash.

Then this happens yesterday. I have to pick that one because it's pushing against the top of the tub, it's like five inches tall, easily the tallest (but not biggest) I've ever had. A few more are popping up too as well as side pins.

Idiot Tub rides again.



As if that wasn't metal enough, it grew to that height while carrying the dessicated corpse of a tiny discarded mushroom on top of it.



In other positive news, I had to give back the dehydrator I had, meaning I had to go buy one. The new one has a temperature control, which is nice, the old one ran a bit hot for my comfort. Also got a bunch of coir (comes in bags here, can't even find the bricks, it's weird, but it's the right stuff), bunch of peat, crushed oyster shell, etc... and some tubs. So I guess we know what's next assuming these grain transfers don't go to shit.

In other news don't buy dollar store WBS. This shit is about 50% wheat, 30% cracked corn, and 20% actual decent seed. I mean, it'll WORK, but I ain't getting it again. I bought some better stuff for too much money today because everyone's out of bird seed this time of year apparently. God damn old ladies with bird feeders. People are trying to grow questionable fungi over here.

That's metal as fuck, dude. Christen that mushroom xXC0rpseRa1s3rXx

Don't worry about dehydrators being too hot, they don't run hot enough to cause potency degradation in any way. Just put that shit on max and leave it for 24hours, should be cracker dry by the time you're back.

One of my masters is fully colonized, I made 5 more jars with it this weekend. The other is mostly colonized but is showing no contaminants. These were both made with spore syringes from a reputable non-sponsor vendor. I think they're Cambodian or Gulf Coast but I honestly can't remember so they're marked as "unknown."

I just shook one of my grain masters (the other is only 1/4 full, I have to work out what to do with it some time tonight) so it's not too photogenic, but tomorrow when it's re-colonized a bit I'll try to get a picture!

I just want to say I really appreciate everyone's support, and the hundreds of 10+ year old threads I read on here to answer my various stupid questions. And mostly RR's videos. Nothing quite like seeing it done.

So I needed a system to keep track of jars and tubs and where they came from and which spores went into it. So I downloaded Delicious Library 3, declared books to be mushrooms, and went from there. I'm using UPC-A barcodes and deciphering the results...



The top code is the cell line, the bottom code is for this particular tub. The cell line I can trace back to who I got the spores from, the individual tub I can see the whole history of...

YOU ARE A GENIUS.... why has no one thought of this! How do you scan the bar-code?

Delicious Library 3. It's used to track home book/media collections. Books are cakes/tubs, movies are spore syringes, video games are liquid culture, etc. You can also add "cover art" to display a picture of what kind of thing it is (like the cover art for all my spore syringes is a picture of one.)

You can scan things with either your webcam or the iOS scanning app which is linked to the desktop app. EVERYTHING shows up as a "duplicate scan" (since you already scanned it when you created the barcode) but it does pop up that item on the desktop app and show its name on the iOS scanner (ie "Cambodian Jar", with the full details being on the desktop app.)

It's not the best way to do it, but it's quick, and it already exists. I used an online barcode generator for the UPCs. You just have to make sure it's not accidentally a real product, so I added "420 69" as a prefix before every barcode.

Maybe it's silly and overkill, especially when I don't have all that many things going, but it was getting real tedious to see "CAM Nov 25" on a jar and not know if that was Cambodian from the spore place, or from one of my own spore syringes from a Cambodian print (and where did THAT come from), or from liquid culture, etc. Makes it hard to keep track of what works and what doesn't.

Basically I wanted to be able to take any given jar of BRF or grain and know that it was made with liquid culture which was made with a tissue sample from a fresh mushroom that was grown on a PF cake with spores that I ordered from my spore vendor.

I honestly haven't really been keeping track but I was portioning some out to throw in the freezer (I'm gonna be set for a year), and after I'd put a dry ounce in a bag that looked like a bit less than half of it. I'm honestly not really concerned with that, I just enjoy the process.

The idiot tub is continuing to produce. I also have a smaller Idiot Tub 2.0 (pics later) that's just the pint or so left over from doing grain transfers spawned to coir/verm. I've only kicked it over once so far, so it has a leg up on Idiot Tub 1.0...

Im sorry Shameful, but you are no Idiot... I am totally stealing your barcode idea. You hit the whole concept of knowing every little detail SPOT ON IMO.

And so you have already spawned to bulk? Im prectically doing the same thing as you, just a few steps behind you! haha

How much experience do you have with all this? Because you have been getting some awesome luck on all your grows ^.^  :takingnotes:  :cheers:
